IN WANT.
Facts That Have Recently Developed In
Cheyenne.

The recent distribution of what was left
OF the barbecue remnants by the Ladies'
Relief Association disclosed the fact that
there are many worthy people in Chey-
enne who are actually suffering for food,
and probably other necessaries of life.
That such is the case is. of course, more
h a many people in Cheyenne can COM
prehend, but it is a TACT nevertheless, and
what can or should be done regarding 1t is
not for The LEADER to undertake to saw.
1t is, however, the duty of a
If 1t knows of these facts, to make il in
u known to the public. for the people
of this city have ever been noted for being
generous and liberal in all things.
In every town and city, not excepting
Cheyenne, there are some people who
have no more sympathy or fellowship
with classes of people who are not very
well situated or are poor and unfortunate
than have the royal nabobs of the old
world with the laboring men of this or
any other country. Half of the people of
the city might die and be buried, and
there are some who would not look out of
the window at the funeral procession if it
we're to pass their doors. But the great
mass of the people everywhere in this
country, and especially in Cheyenne, have
a sympathy for those who are unfortu-
nately situated, and while there is, per-
haps. no practicable way hut ona hu which
suffering in Cheyenne can be alleviated,
yet there is one, and that is by strength
ening the hands and of the
Ladies' Relief Association, all times seek
ing to ascertain and relieve, as far as they
caa, the wants of the poor.

Hon. James q. Blaine in his
speech Augusta, soon after his de-
feat for the Presidency, gave an OK
bibiton Of Southern usurpa.ion,
which appeals to every white aud
colored voter, aud which shows why
We are under Democratic admins
,ratiou. ln speaking OF intimidation
he said
III the outrage stopped tbero il
would be bad enough but it does
no; stop there, for not only is the
negro population DISTINGUISHED, but
the power Hhich rigb,tnlly and con-
stiiu'ionally belongs to tbem is
traosferred to the white population,
eoabliOg tho white population OF the
South to exert an electoral Influence
far beyond that ezerted by the same
number OF white people in the North.
10 illustrate just how it works to
the dostl action f oil fair elections
let me present to You five States in
the late Confederacy and five loyal
States Of the North, possessing in
each section tho same number Of
electoral votes.
In the South tho States OF Louis.
lana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and South Carolina have in the ag-
gregate forty Neight electoral votes.
They havc 100000 white people
aud over 1900. 900 colJtcd people
In the North tue States of WiscOn-
sin, Miuuosu,a, Iowa, X nsas and
Califoroia bayo likewise in the ag-
gregaie forty-eight electoral votes,
and they have white population oi
100000, or Just double the five
Southern States have named. The
Northern States have practically no
colloreo population. 1t is therefore,
evident that tho white men in these
Southern States, by usurping and
absorbing the tights Of the colored
meu, ale cxelting Just double th,
political power Of tho white mon ID
the No'tIern States.
How long this will be continued
will depend on how long the people
: will consent to have Dcmocrati,

A Romance Of the War.

One OF the most remarkable cases
Of concellmept Of sex has just been
brought to light in Cincinnati. On
September 26lh application was
made TO Col. l.. A. Harris by one Of
tue trustees Of Dayton Soldiers
Home for the admi sion Of sick
veteran 10 that institution. The
soldier called at Col. Ha,,is' house
and was given an application blank
to fill ont. The veterans name was
james Fisher. IL had letter
form Col rLfel the colonel OF his
regiment, which stated that Fisher
had received an homo able discharge
after two years service 10 Conpany
G, SIKH Unin ipfaniry. F,sber was
i'll aud unable 10 provide for himself.
Cpl Haiiis gave him transportation
on September 2Sih 10 Dayton with
a letter to Con. Patrick, superinteo-
dent of the home. requesting him TO
take care of the beai OF until he could
be provided for. The medical ex-
animation at Dayton revealed the
fact that Fisher is a fully developed
woman. OF course she was not re-
ceived into the home, and no QUE
knows where sho now ia Very lit.
tie is known Of her history. ESer
since the war she has col tnued &c
dress like n mau and live with those
Of that sex. Ia appearance Fisher
is short, heavy set, with q rouud
soomth face, dark hair and eyes
and is somewhat effeminate, but NJ
one has ever suspected her sex.

As each citizen is given the ballot,
it is not only his privilege, but his
duty to use it. 1t is an element Of
power and safety when it is properly
used, and one Of weakness and dam
ger when neglected. 1t is useless
to arm an individual for his protec
ton, If hs docs not defend himself
wien the emergency arrives. No
citizen has the moral right to dis
fanchise himself for il is u species of
suicide aud a neglect that mus,

ment of popular opiuion, where the

does bis duty he will express that
